1985 -Bo Burnham Sped up

Cringe

1:37 I love the way he says "Scott Burnham, 1985" omg

My favourite thing about this song is that, while it could be played off as him laying out the 'white guy, 1985' tropes, given that he eventually says the song is about his dad it's somewhat implied that Bo's mum has underwhelming cooking, or at least did in 1985 lmao

This song is about his dad and facetime with my mom is about his mom. I can tell robert loves his parents alot to include them in his material.

How is this more 80's than the original?

0:40 THIS PART IS SO UNDERRATED OMG I LOVE IT SO MUCH

“I’m not ok with this” OMG THAT WAS/IS MY FAVORITE SHOW IM SO SAD THERES NOT GONNA BE A SEASON 2 :(

lyrics! He's a really cool guy He's got a cool shirt He's got cool shoes Did I mention the shirt? If you ever got the chance to meet him You'd know why I want to be him He walks into a room and everyone respects him (everyone respects him) He reads the news and doesn't let that shit affect him (doesn't let that shit affect him) He's really happy, he's thrilled to be alive His name is any white guy in 1985 White guy, 1985 (1985) White guy, 1985 (1985) White guy, 1985 (1985) White guy, 1985 (1985) He's got a job and a family, how does he do it? Balances work with his wife's underwhelming cooking He's got all the answers that I wanna know How can I be what I am but 40 years ago, gee-whiz He got it and he flaunts So, I am the thing he is But he isn't when I want I guess it's true that some people really got to fight to survive And some people are white guys in 1985 White guy, 1985 (1985) White guy, 1985 (1985) White guy, 1985 (1985) White guy, 1985 (1985) Wait It wasn't easy being any white guy in 1985 Some white guys were living through the AIDS crisis Some white guys were Italian And I'm not saying it's hard being a white guy now I've misspoke I don't mean to lump a group of people in a hive I think I just meant my dad in 1985 My dad, 1985 (my dad) My father, 1985 (Papa) My dad, 1985 Scott Burnham, 1985 (Scott) I wanna be my dad (Scott) I wanna be my dad in the 80s (my dad, 1985) My oblivious white dad in the mid-80s (Scott) My dad was an oblivious white guy (general contractor) My dad was happier than I am If I could be anybody dead or alive I would want to be my dad in 1985

the fact this still applies now is crazy

The key change is perfect

I love this guys voice so much. Even if it’s auto tune or smth, it sounds amazing anyway.

1:24 till the end is so GOOD

1:25 my fav<3

I love the Stanley picture lol

I wonder how his dad feels listen to this

Listening isn't enough, I need to be inside this song

Headphones aren’t enough I need this song tattooed in my BRAIN~~~~~~

0:44 is my favorite part when he does that with his voice 🥰

underrated on an illegal level.

I'm kind of glad he mentioned the aids crisis because it took an idol of mine who created universally known music while dying. He deteriorated instead of coming out in fear of losing his job. Rest in peace, Howard Ashman. You gave a mermaid her voice, a beast his soul, and my life a little less self-loathing (Just realized I ranted about a joke song, but I'm a young teen, and I'm pretty sure that I'm autistic and I have a strong special interest in Howard Ashman's work lol)
